Please make a few test uploads. How many images do you plan to upload in total? --Krd 14:48, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

I am writing codes now. There should be thousands of images, and increasing aperiodically. --Kanashimi (talk) 14:48, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

I have do some test edits. There are 21K+ images. Please review the result and give me some suggestions, thank you. --Kanashimi (talk) 11:22, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

As you stated above, http://taibnet.sinica.edu.tw/eng/policy.php says the site is under cc-by-2.5 unless otherwise noted. Sadly all the source pages of the images you transferred note different, i.e. cc-by-nc. Please let me know if I miss something. --Krd 11:58, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your speedy reply. Well... You are right, although the messages on the guest board of TaiBNET says it is OK to use the data in Wikipedia articles. I think the main concern is that they do not want the works being used in a business product. But there are many images in the site. If I change the bot task; for the species exist in commons, giving a link to TaiBNET, is this a good idea? --Kanashimi (talk) 13:53, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

I don't get that, please say again in different words or give an example. --Krd 14:33, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

For example, add a link:

• See images of Albara reversaria on TaiBNET

to Category:Albara reversaria, and add a link:

• See images of Neohelota helleri on TaiBNET

to Category:Neohelota. --Kanashimi (talk) 14:40, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Understood. I'm not sure if this is helpful, awaiting additional opinions. --Krd 14:53, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I will wait for some time if other contributors have any advice. --Kanashimi (talk) 15:36, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

I oppose external links to non-free images from our category pages. If someone wants non-free images, they can easily search. --99of9 (talk) 00:55, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

• I am concerned by the very first upload the bot did: File:Neohelota_helleri,_海氏大吸木甲;_馬承漢_2016-08-07_TaiBNET_21822.jpg is marked as CC-BY-2.5, but on the source page it is CC-BY-NC, which is not allowed on commons. --99of9 (talk) 00:53, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Ah, I see this was also raised above. --99of9 (talk) 00:55, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I find there are many sample photos in the site that wiki do not have. So how about just add a link to the page contains the sample photo? I think this can help the visitor who want to know more about the species. --Kanashimi (talk) 12:37, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

If that's the case, why don't we add links to google images? No, advertising for non-free media is not within our scope. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 13:47, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

I see no support for the intended task; if there is nothing to add I'd suggest to close this as declined. --Krd 13:55, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Declined. --Krd 10:53, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
